Vehicle Registration
May it is brand new or not, Land Transportation Officer will absolutely check is the vehicle you are running in the street is registered or not. To avoid penalties better register your vehicle at the Land Transportation Office. Actually, for a new car, mostly dealers process with the registration of vehicles but, it’s still best to be knowledgeable on the processing of registration and the necessary documents required. Here are the lists of documentary requirements for the car registration in the Land Transportation Office:
- Sales Invoice of the Vehicle (Original)
- Tax Identification Card/ID
- Original Certificate of Stock Reported (CSR)
- Original PNP-HPG MV Clearance Certificate
- Appropriate Insurance Certificate of Cover
- Result of Car Emission Testing
Once these documents are already complete, submit it all to the nearest Land Transportation Office in your area. The assigned evaluator will assess your submitted documents and compute the fees to be paid for the registration. Once you are done paying all the necessary fees and have the Official Receipt in your hand, proceed to the Releasing Counter to get your Certificate of Registration (CR), plates, and stickers. As what the famous saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, so it is best to be early in the LTO so that you will be on the first line and make this registration be done in one day.
That’s it for the vehicle registration. Can you now start the engine and drive your car in the street? Yes of course you can, but wait, there’s also an important thing that needs to be done which is to apply and have your car insurance policy.
